Australia - a black-and-white map for young learners (editable ... - Free Printable

Let’s solve this step by step.

We need to find:
1. 7 Australian cities
2. 7 Australian animals
3. 6 Australian states and 2 territories

First, let’s look at the map and pick out the cities that are labeled:

Cities shown on the map:
- Darwin (in Northern Territory)
- Brisbane (in Queensland)
- Sydney (in New South Wales)
- Canberra (in Australian Capital Territory)
- Melbourne (in Victoria)
- Hobart (in Tasmania)
- Adelaide (in South Australia)
- Perth (in Western Australia)

That’s 8 cities — we only need 7. We can choose any 7 of these. Let’s pick:
→ Darwin, Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Hobart, Adelaide

(We left out Perth just to keep it to 7 — but you could include Perth instead of one of the others if you want!)

Now, let’s find 7 Australian animals from the map:

Animals drawn on the map:
- Emu (Western Australia)
- Kangaroo (Northern Territory)
- Koala (Queensland)
- Wombat (South Australia)
- Platypus (New South Wales)
- Penguin (Victoria/Tasmania area)
- Dolphin (off Western Australia coast)
- Fish/clownfish (off Queensland coast)
- Sheep (Western Australia – though not native, often associated with Australia)
- Snake or lizard? (maybe in NT or WA)
- Bird (near Sydney)

But let’s stick to clearly Australian native animals shown:

Pick 7:
→ Kangaroo, Koala, Wombat, Platypus, Emu, Penguin, Dolphin

(Note: Some might argue penguins aren’t “iconic” enough, but little penguins live in southern Australia. If you prefer, swap dolphin for sheep — but dolphin is more uniquely Australian wildlife.)

Actually, let’s double-check: The map shows:
- Kangaroo (NT)
- Koala (QLD)
- Wombat (SA)
- Platypus (NSW)
- Emu (WA)
- Penguin (VIC/TAS)
- And maybe the fish or bird? But also there’s a snake/lizard near Uluru? Or perhaps the echidna? Wait — actually, looking again, there’s an animal that looks like a thylacine (Tasmanian tiger) in WA? But that’s extinct. Better to go with what’s clearly drawn.

Alternative list from map:
1. Kangaroo
2. Koala
3. Wombat
4. Platypus
5. Emu
6. Penguin
7. Dolphin

Yes — all are shown and are real Australian animals.

Now, states and territories:

Australia has 6 states and 2 main territories.

States:
1. Western Australia
2. South Australia
3. Queensland
4. New South Wales
5. Victoria
6. Tasmania

Territories:
1. Northern Territory
2. Australian Capital Territory

Perfect — exactly 6 states and 2 territories.

So now we have everything.

Final Answer:

7 Australian cities:
Darwin, Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Hobart, Adelaide

7 Australian animals:
Kangaroo, Koala, Wombat, Platypus, Emu, Penguin, Dolphin

6 Australian states and 2 territories:
States: Western Australia, South Australia, Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania
Territories: Northern Territory, Australian Capital Territory
